Shine a light on Jesus’ love!
Launch kids on a cosmic quest where they’ll have a blast shining Jesus’ light to the world. Stellar rockets kids on an out-of-this-world adventure that’s light years of faith-building fun. Each day at Stellar VBS, kids launch into field-tested rotations that reinforce key teachings from Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Stellar is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, touch, and even taste! Imagination Station, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life.

Experiencing God’s Word
At Stellar, one memorable Bible Point and one key aspect of Sacred Tradition (called the “Catholic ID”) are reinforced throughout the stations, each day—making these key points easy to apply light years after VBS is over.

Interested in a volunteer opportunity this summer? Saint Gregory the Great Vacation Bible School day camp is a terrific time to help and interact with the younger children of our parish. Our VBS is loaded with fun-filled activities that bring kids closer to God. Through the different activities – singing, crafts, games, snacks, bible story theatre – the children learn what the Bible point of the day is and how they can live it out in their life.

The VBS camp will run Monday through Friday. Volunteers need to be here from 8:30 am – 1:00 pm. On Friday the camp will conclude with a Mass that starts at noon.

We cannot put this camp on without volunteers – a lot of volunteers. Work begins months before with planning, designing and assembling set decorations, making signs, registering campers, training, etc. Would you like to play a role in this year’s camp? You are awarded service hours for the time that you volunteer at the VBS camp.

Review the volunteer opportunities and let us know what you would be interested in. Check your dates to make sure you can commit. Please contact us for further information.

Registration is now closed, all available positions have been filled. Please check back summer 2024.
